2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GU17 YKT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive attention regarding tyres and wheels. The most recent test in March 2026 at 41,521 miles passed with a single advisory for a distorted nearside front inner road wheel. This defect persisted from the March 2024 test, indicating that while the owner addressed the tyre-related failures from 2024, they opted not to rectify the structural distortion of the wheel. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 41,521 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 4,300 miles driven between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from tear. This is evidenced by the multiple advisories and failures regarding cracking and perishing of tyres noted in the 2023 and 2024 records. A buyer should physically inspect the nearside front wheel for signs of impact or vibration at speed, as the distortion has remained unaddressed for two years. Given the history of uneven tyre wear and perishing, a thorough check of the suspension alignment and rubber bushes is necessary to ensure no underlying faults are causing premature tyre failure. The recurring issues with edge wear in 2023 and 2024 suggest the vehicle may have suffered from alignment issues, which should be verified before purchase.
